The students will be receiving certificates of appreciation from congressional, state, city and school district officials as well as a cash award from Rotary. This year’s keynote speaker will be Senator Bill Dodd.

The students were nominated by their teachers as teens who demonstrate good character, ethical behaviors, or good deeds (e.g. helping younger students succeed in their studies, standing up to bullies, helping others in the community through volunteering).

“This year we had over 50 applications and it was not easy for our selection committee to make their decisions,” said President Hillman, “but it was also heartwarming to us to read them and know that there is so much good in our community.”
